I wonder how much of the people that are being upset about an option that recognizes landmarks and that is build in a privacy minded way are using chatGTP, windows, google or socials

The writer of the post admits that he doesn’t understand the very tech lite explanation of Apple nor read about Apple AI in general and the way it was setup. A lot of people are upset that (maybe, but unlikely) Apple knows that you made the 10 billionth photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. But continu using all sorts of services, living in sec camera heavy cities etc.

Not an apple fan but from all big tech corporations they have the least amount of interest in mining user data from a business perspective

I think it's more that they realised they couldn't beat google at that game and hoped to see personal or governmental push back like GPDR in the EU that would then give them an advantage. Which would then give them an advantage. The day they stop having that belief they will invade your privacy.

You're ignoring the part where it's opt-out.

We're way passed the point where things are accidently opt-out instead of opt-in, if you want to dig the point, it's something you should touch upon.
